    TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTRY STRONGLY CONDEMNS SHOOTING OF 'INNOCENT' SHEPHERD BY ARMENIAN SOLDIERS

    ANKARA - Anadolu Agency

    The Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly condemned, in a statement Aug.

    1, the shooting of a shepherd by Armenian border guards at the eastern
    Kars province

    "We strongly condemn the shooting of an innocent citizen for a simple
    border infringement apparently made very innocently," the ministry
    said in the statement, calling on Yerevan to show "good sense" in
    their relations with their neighbors.

    "There is no valid explanation for the excessive use of Armenian
    force in such an ordinary event," the statement added.

    Mustafa Ulker, 35, had illegally passed over to the Armenian side
    crossing the Arpacay river bordering both countries, reportedly in
    an attempt to retrieve a lost sheep when he was shot by the Armenian
    soldiers on the border late July 31.

    "The animal was probably giving birth there. This incident took
    place when he returned to retrieve the animal," Gov. Osman Ugurlu
    of Kars's Akyaka district, where the incident took place, said about
    the incident.
